Romans 12:9-13
"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality."

Prayer for Anna Grace

Please pray for our niece. She has been readmitted back into the hospital (now the third time since birth and she's not even 2 weeks old) for very unusual jaundice. She is with a pathologist at the moment trying to figure out exactly why its not going away. There is some talk of some blood transfusions.

I know this is wearing on Carol and Tommy, being in and out of the hospital. Please pray for them.

A word from Chris.....

A thought for this Christmas...

The Lord is to be magnified and praised in worship for his greatness and his glory. We will never rise above magnifying the Lord.

So when you are around your family and friends this Christmas season...exalt God, set him on high, magnify him with your love for each other.



-Chris

Video from Matt

Video from Matt

Watch this video from Matt Chandler, pastor of the Village Church...He has been in my prayers as he recently went into surgery to remove a brain tumor.

This has been an encouragement to me this morning, oh the opportunity to honor God in the worst of struggles.

Have a blessed day,

Thankful

On this Thanksgiving day I am thanking God for all the wonderful blessings in our lives and for his faithful provision for our family this year! He has provided when we were both without jobs with a baby on the way, also faithful starting a new business in the scariest economy of our lifetime when we didn't know how our next month's bills would get paid. How he has blessed and taken care of us! He provided wonderful friends and family to encourage us, his word to strengthen our hearts, healed our newborn son when he was born with lung issues and pneumonia, kept our family safe, a roof over our head, cars to drive and food to eat. He allowed us to live in a free country with a military fighting for our freedom- We thank them and praise HIM today!


Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

3 Months!


I just can't believe this little angel is 3 months already! Right now as he's SITTING UP in my lap with his HEAD UP, I just think "where did the time go??" I still feel stuck back in August. This past week Chandler experienced his first cold :( not fun...but he definitely wanted to be held more than usual so of course I didn't mind! He's doing better but is still a little stuffy. By the way, have you ever seen a baby love a nasal aspirator?? This one does! He just laughs and laughs when I do it. :)
I feel so amazingly blessed and I'm so excited for his first Thanksgiving.

"talking" after bath time

For some reason....I get the best conversations and faces right after he's had a bath or he's on the changing table :) Go figure. He's a doll though. I enjoy every minute. He's holding his head up really well and is now sleeping 12 hours at night! I'm so proud of the little chunk.
